Nervous monkeys lend clues to anxiety

Updated - 13/8/2010 - abc news online.

 

Scientists have identified two parts of the brain linked with severe anxiety in young monkeys, and they suspect these same areas may also play a role in children who develop anxiety disorders, offering new promise for treatment.

Nervous monkeys in the study showed heightened brain activity in the amygdala and anterior hippocampus, a team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health report in the journal Nature.

"We’re really excited about the findings because we think that they have the potential to have a direct impact on how we understand these illnesses in children and hopefully we can come up with better ways to treat kids based on this information," says Ned Kalin, who led the study.

He says monitoring those parts of the brain could help identify and treat high levels of anxiety, an important risk factor for developing the disorders as an adult.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults, according to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America .
